Calculation Method for Settlement Depth of Gravity Anchor on Seabed
At present,the traditional fluke anchor is mainly used as the positioning anchor for offshore construction vessel.The traditional fluke anchor needs to have enough dragging distance to provide the required force.Therefore,the conventional fluke anchor is not suitable for use in the sea area with limited dragging distance.Due to the large weight of gravity anchor itself,there are certain requirements on the seabed bearing capacity of the installation area.Before the installation of gravity anchor,it is necessary to check the seabed bearing capacity of the installation area.The settlement depth of gravity anchor on the seabed can directly reflect the seabed bearing capacity.This paper introduces a method for calculating the settling depth of gravity anchor on seabed,which can be easily calculated.
